vention relates to music record ,l nf the type employed for controllin'f sting mechanism of automatic I "unients, and consists in provid- Nune with certain distinguishing l characters, as will hereinafter ep i.

The music slice-t trav citer n trucker 5, sucn tracker being il with the usual orifices employed in i "with controlling the instrument,

Lnmwn. A scale 6, shown in Fig. 1 .nt-ing a. miniature key-board, and l l troilcd. li uch" f l )y record 'sheets noisy he enii l l l l enmhrved in written music, to designate the various tones, is mounted in the instrument in :1. position above the tracker and in close proxnnity thereto, so that the music sheet passes between the seule and the trucker hut is out et contact with the seid scalo. The

iwrforzitifins 7, which. register with the oriliens in thc trucker to control the playing of the instrument, and the system ofnotetion employed upon the smiles corresponds with the times .prc eiued by the pcrforations in the nn ic sheetor with the tones con- 4iufmgh the trucker. As the beneath the scale, an is o hy noting the positions perieruiioni ith respect to the scale, to perceive it ein' time just what is being ement. The accompaninlefgml hy the i meut of :i #one Iiowcycr, does not usually ncludf the i vlug of the tones actually sung, so l. record .sheet for rendering um'. there will be, in the ions to correspond with ln crrying out my invention, then, l pimide nlehvdy indicating nmrhs in nged in position widtlnvisc of the s lwet, corresponding in positions with regard tc the si l e, ct the tones to be sungh sotlnit :in rmcretor, hy watching the relationsnp oi the melody indicating marks with relulion lo the scale, es lhe music sheet ireycls beneath sinne, will be enabled to rcruiiy disliI-rguish the tones indicated to be sung, Where it happens that a tone lo be sung is :ilse played, n melody indicating merk is :applied in proximity to the perl'cretion corrcspoxuling thereto, as will be noticed by rclcrence to the lirst tone indicutcd. on the record sheet illustrated in Fig. 2. I also print the words of the song upon the sheet, such words and s vllnbles of words be- 10 will hence very in accordance therewith, it l'll.

being intended thnt the words or syllables of Words applying to each tone shall be arranged sie efficaci aboutlopposite the commencement of 'the perforation repiesei'lting that tone. The operator is thus able to the melody, and having also the words n the song printed upon the in line 'with the tones relating thereto, may readily 'teach himself liet i. the Words.4 and the music of the song while the instrument :is playing thelaccompaniment.

VVhat-'l claim is:
